Both of the stores I frequent had a stack of 10-15 on the shelf. These were the same stores that had 2 and 3 of the second print.

Mine didn't order them. His first mis-step with Valiant and me - but I got some from Ed. Hopefully arriving this week.

My LCS ordered around four of them. Two were sold before 11:30 on The Wednesday they were released, and I purchased one copy (also got four coming from Ed).

There us still one left on the shelf as of Yesterday.

Same here. I simply added a few copies to my Bloodshot order with Paradise. My experience has led me to conclude that I won't find reprints or variants at the LCSs in my area.

found a couple in a box on my front porch at lunch today....thx Ed!

Interesting that their are practically none of these showing up on ebay.

So here's the question. Would you snatch up any copy of these off the shelf you could find based purely on speculation? Is this going to be like the 2nd printing?

My guess is that it is not quite like the second. The print run is a bit higher and the cover is the same as the first print. It may go for a bit of a premium for a little while but I don't see quite the potential for retention of value like the second print.

Found three 2nd and three 3rd print XO #1s at my door today...thanks Ed!

I disagree, i think a premium value will be retained if the print run is indeed around 3,000 like has been said, probably priced middle of the road between the pullbox and the second print. It is an awesome cover In my opinion, second only to the 2nd print. I didn't care for the pullbox coloring, but I love the sketch version.

Just came back from NYC and went to Midtown Comics. They had no X-O 2nd prints which I was looking for and don't have. I bought the last 3rd print. They had four 1:50 Bloodshot so I bought an extra one to add to the one I already had. 2nd prints will be a tough one to find!!!!

Me too. Frustrating that my LCS doesn't seem to take my condition seriously.

Kudos to Ed for helping us get our fix

Does anyone have one of these they would be willing to sell. I thought I would have one in my box, but my LCS dropped the ball.

Whoo Hoo!!!
Because MarkRoseHFX is from halifax and mentioned how he picked up a 3rd print this week, I decided because I am from Halifax also that I would try for another 3rd print, I have 2, I turned down 1 at 1 of the LCS . I walk into the store where I turned down the 3rd print...and there are 2 on the shelf....SCOOP!!!!

LCS missed the third print - but GOT IT on the re-order.

Now, I'm waiting on the one (s) from paradise...

And the Bloodshot...

And the fourth print...

And the Ninjak set of X-O...
